Cottage · Ounasvaara · Finland
This log cottage in Rovaniemi sits by Pond Jokilampi, with a private boat, a separate sauna and a covered porch for slow days by the water. It sleeps up to six guests and offers an easy base for both summer swimming and winter stays.
The cottage is built from old logs and keeps a warm, traditional feel with a fireplace, a covered porch and a separate wood-heated sauna. The pond is close by, with shallow water and a sandy bottom, and the private boat adds to the quiet outdoor setting. In summer, water for the sauna comes via hose from the cottage, while in winter it needs to be carried from nearby.
This log cottage sits about 25 km south of Rovaniemi, in a quiet spot by Pond Jokilampi. Built from old logs, it has a simple, cosy feel that suits unhurried days in Lapland.
